Challenging The Geotechnical Engineers

Abstract

The complexity of the problems addressed force geotechnical engineers to do and to think out of the box beyond their specialties and to take holistic consideration in every step of their works. Rapid development of technology, especially information system technology, encourages civil engineers as well as geotechnical engineering to utilize it to solve geotechnical problems. Geotechnical engineers should not consider such condition as obstacles but challenges. This paper intends to discuss some new challenges and new hope for geotechnical engineers along the community development
